QUESTIONS/ANSWERS

All questions should be emailed to denise.farris@abq.dtra or herbert.thompson@dtra.mil.

1. Page 58 of the RFQ section 5.3 asks the contractor to submit rates for CLINS 0001-0004. However, I cannot find a list of labor rates for these CLINS. Is the government asking the contractor to propose the labor categories he will use or will the government provide a list of labor categories?

Answer. The Government will not provide a list of labor categories. Contractors should propose all labor categories they intend to use to satisfy this requirement.

2. Page 38 of the RFQ makes reference to Attachment No. 2 Government furnished automotive and engineer equipment inventory. I did not find any file listed as Attachment No. 2 on the government website. Please advise if this attachment is listed under a different name.

Answer. Amendment 01 provides information on where to view attachment 02.

3. We believe Items 0001 thru 0003, fall under the Service Contract Act instead of the Davis Bacon Act, is this correct?

Answer. The Davis Bacon Act applies because the principal purpose of the effort is construction.

4. Considering employees will be based in the Las Cruces/Socorro area, will we be subject to the zones in the Davis Bacon wage determination?

Answer. The majority of the effort is expected to be accomplished in Kirtland Air Force Base (Bernalillo County) or White Sands Missile Range (Socorro County), NM. Efforts at Kirtland should use Bernalillo County and efforts at White Sands Missile Range should use Socorro County.

5. Who is responsible for the utilities and phone services at the site?

Answer. The Government is responsible for utilities and telephone service at the PHETS administration area.
